RC july8th,9th,10th trip

.................................Badass lookin trail!

 

that trail is RC's pride and joy in the new section...it looks even more crazy in person

 

Want to give it a shot next trip?

Ive found a few trail rigs ive email about a few but ive found a few nice sammys im goin try to jump on.

 

sammys are such awsome trail rigs....id love to build one but i cant find one thats not rotted out :/

 

Nothing but the tail light cover, the locker motor, more on the pass. rocker, little bit of tire chunking, and that is about it.

 

Thank god I got rid of that squeak in the brake, that was annoying as hell. Sucks I had to miss that one trail while I was taking care of it.

Still got the engine noise after hosing down the truck. Can't figure out exactly where it's coming from.

 

What does it sound like?

 

Got a couple dents in the IFS skid. Kinda hard to see in this pic, big one is just behind the bolt hole on the left and there's another a little further back and closer to the center. I know I came down hard on the skid for the big one, definitely would have destroyed the factory skid.



And I don't think the mud flap is supposed to go this way.

 

Kinda like an angry bees nest. Thought it was some crud on a belt or something. Should probably take a close look around the fan and see if something is in there.

 

cant belive youz guyz still have mud flaps

 

not me as you can see the ones who do...arent having much luck...lol blues and blue/blacks we ran tend to dislike mudflaps

 

just posted all of my trail damage pictures in my build thread. see sig for link vvvvvvv

 

You may need to take the timing cover off and check out all of the bearings and stuff. I know that shitty coal water there eats bearings for breakfast.

F mudflaps. I lost my fronts a long long time ago. Toyota knew we would lose them, thats why they perforated where they are bolted on. lol

 

Actually lost one of my front mud flaps as well. Well it was still hanging by one of the screws so I took it off on the trail. I'll be taking the rest off.

And I'm at 99k miles and just ordered a kit for replacing the timing belt so I'll be in there soon enough to check it out.

 

Getting back to my build hopefully here in a couple of months I will be able to bring up the 96 and leave the 05 at home!

 

nice! i take it you like snorkles and bushwacker flares

 

Yeah for the flares need them for the PA laws so I can keep it on the road but I figured I am still going to run the beadlocks on the SAS even though they are illegal in PA as well.

By the way I will be back up th RC on the 23rd but will be riding shotgun with JT in his runner hope to see maybe what the reds look like.

 

This is exactly my noise.

Just need to figure out which pulley is bad and replace it while I'm doing the timing belt.
